Bacio (chocolate-hazelnut-crunch), salty caramel, and white chocolate lemon in a cup--ambrosia! We were in Charlottesville for 3 nights and found Splendora's the 2nd for dessert. We were back the next night too, the gelato was so fabulous. In fact, I have tried various restaurant's "gelato" outside of Italy and always have been disappointed. This was the real thing and just... More

I had heard of Splendora's when we were in the Charlottesville area a few months ago but did not have time to go there. I love gelato so when we went to Charlottesville last weekend I insisted that we go there after dinner, even though it was very cold and windy and a long walk from the restaurant. My husband... More

They always have new great flavors and you can sample before you buy. A nice little dessert while you enjoy the downtown mall....we stop everytime we are downtown!

The gelato here is as good as it gets. They offer as many tastings as one likes. The staff is friendly and helpful, service quick and cheerful. Eat in or take out and stroll the mall.

Terrific flavors, very creative. Best ones are usually the most Italian of them: nuts, fruits and chocolates. But some of the more American ones are OK too like the salted caramel and the oreo cookie (which my son likes). Perfect for a hot day!

We stopped for a quick sweet treat recently and were not disappointed. They feature a large selection of homemade gelatos (all the regular flavors plus a few unique additions) as well as specialty coffee drinks. The dining area is small and cozy but our party of three had no problem finding a spot to sit and enjoy even though they... More

The gelato here is quite excellent as is the range of flavors available. The store itself is rather narrow but generally we get some gelatos and walk around outside as this is located on the Downtown (pedestrian) Mall. Overall I'm not inclined to say best gelato outside of Italy as others have claimed, but it is rather delicious. The prices... More
